Extractions in Forest City, NC
At Forest Oak Family Dental, we perform dental extractions to address various dental issues, including tooth decay, infection, and crowding. While extraction is the last resort, it is sometimes necessary when a tooth is too damaged to save.
Simple Extractions
A simple extraction is performed when the tooth is visible in the mouth. Our dentist will use an elevator to loosen the tooth from the socket and remove it with forceps.
Surgical Extractions
A surgical extraction is necessary when a tooth has broken below the gumline or not erupted completely. This requires an incision into the gums to reach the tooth.
The Benefits of Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction can provide many benefits for your oral health and overall comfort.
- Improved oral health by preventing complications from a diseased tooth.
- A more comfortable smile, free of pain from a damaged tooth.
